Spirit considers this and any other world as an adventurous playground. Being awake as spirit, you want to play with the world at hand. Yet playing with this world turns out to be easier said than done. Because almost all the games played here turn out to be created and played by players who are not awake as spirit. And those players actually lack the characteristics of players, thus their games lack the characteristics of games. The playfulness is missing. The purposelessness. The lack of planning. Unawake players obviously play the game of life as if they were real and as if the world was real. So it’s all serious, it’s all aimed at something, and it’s all supposed to mean something.
Being awake as spirit, their games don’t suit you. The last game you played with seriousness was the game of awakening. After awakening, you simply can’t play serious games anymore. You can’t even be attracted by them anymore. This is why you end up in a really weird spot if you wake up in this world. You end up wanting to play, yet lacking both games to play and players to play with. This is both depressing and frustrating for you as a human being and for you as spirit. Even the process of awakening, as hard as it was, was more fun than this. Coming home was an adventurous journey. Yet being home and ready to bring in the harvest, you realize that those serious motherfuckers claim to own all the land, and that they cut all the trees, having turned the forest of possibilities into the desert they call reality. Equipped with water pistols, you end up on a battlefield with real soldiers. Ready to play, you are asked to fight.
We all know what it’s like to be wandering the suffocating wasteland of this uninspiring nightmare, wondering what a life worth living could possibly look like within a dual dreamscape that has grown to be completely immune against its own true nature. We sometimes need to remind ourselves that there are always ways for spirit to play with this absurd scenario, even if we can’t seem to find them. Dive within, keep looking. Keep in touch with the infinite sea of possibilities. It’s the dark sea of the unborn, so it’s challenging to dive there. With nothing to see, there is nothing to guide you. Nothing but pure spirit, nothing but true nature itself.
